Fungi as Environmental Guardians: Enzymatic Solutions to Pollution
Abstract: Fungi are simple and inexpensive to cultivate, like miniature factories. Their enzymes are more environmentally friendly and safer for all to use compared to the use of dangerous chemicals. This review delves into how scientists are employing these enzymes to clean up polluted soil, purify wastewater, and even convert waste into valuable products such as biofuels.For example, fungi are amazing at cleaning! They create enzymes, which act as little workers …

Paper Production from Flower: Recycling of Flower Waste
Abstract: AbstractThis proposal provides an alternative approach for solid waste management. Solid waste is usually landfilled or incinerated, the volume of solid waste that can be recycled is found to be minimal. This approach will focus on reducing the solid floral waste. India is a country where religion and festivals are part of our lives; we usually worship by providing offerings mostly flowers, coconut, and fruits. Flowers are been widely used …

Plastic Pollution from River to Ocean: A Comprehensive Review in Indian Scenario
Abstract: Plastic represents a substantial environmental hazard, contributing to contamination of terrestrial,aquatic, and atmospheric ecosystems. This category comprises a diverse range of polymers. In the formof microplastics and nanoplastics, it can induce toxicity in water bodies. Plastic debris not onlyphysically pollutes freshwater, but also chemically, undergoing changes over time due to hydroclimaticeffects. Rivers serve as conduits, transporting plastics from minor tributaries to major rivers andultimately into the ocean, endangering marine life. …

Polymer-Integrated Smart Biomedical Waste Management System Using AI and Sensor-Based Segregation
Abstract: Biomedical waste, which comes from healthcare facilities like hospitals, clinics, and labs, includes both infectious and non-infectious materials. This can range from sharps and pathological waste to pharmaceutical leftovers and general medical trash. If this waste isn't handled, sorted, and disposed of properly, it can pose serious contamination risks, leading to infections, workplace hazards, environmental damage, and public health emergencies. Traditional biomedical waste management often relies on manual sorting, which …

Accumulator Plants for Phytoremediation: An Attempt from Mangampeta and Vemula Barite Mining Areas, Kadapa District, Andhra Pradesh, India
Abstract: Mining alters the natural landscape discharging large volumes of wastes which pose serious pollution hazards to the environment, to human health, and to agriculture. Abandoned mine wastes cause severe pollution impacting the local environment. The use of a vegetation cover ameliorates in reclaiming mine-spoils and tailings. A biogeochemical survey was carried out in Mangampeta and Vemula barite mining areas to identify native accumulator plants and to evaluate the extent of …

A review on Plastisphere
Abstract: Plastic waste contamination has emerged as a growing ecological issue of great significance. Plastic has been found in various environments, including within the human body, creating a growing threat to both ecosystems and people. In the ocean, plastic debris undergoes gradual fragmentation into tiny particles known as microplastics due to the disruption of physical and chemical processes. These microplastics serve as a habitat for diverse microbial communities, such as fungi, …
